Current Narrative:
Since the implementation of WIOA, our core workforce development system partners participate on the WIOA Roundtable. The WIOA Roundtable meets regularly and its membership includes representatives from Registered Apprenticeship, higher education, secondary education, two- and four-year educational institutions, Carl D. Perkins secondary and post-secondary programs, Career and Technical Education, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, human services, and elected officials to engage in discussions about integration of services provided by a multitude of service providers. The WIOA Roundtable has individual committees that focus on critical areas in WIOA implementation to include: finance, IT system integration, policy development, core performance measures, sector strategies, and the development of the state workforce development plan.
The WIOA Roundtable also develops strategies to best align programs, prevent duplication, and increase access to services for jobseekers and employers.
Each year, the WIOA Roundtable host a Spring and Fall WIOA Statewide Partners meeting. These meetings are attended by approximately 400 individuals representing state and local workforce boards members, core and optional workforce partner programs, secondary and higher education, state and local economic development, community-based organizations, employers, and elected officials.
